The situation is becoming critical for AC Milan and beleaguered coach Massimiliano Allegri, whose side have lost three of their first four Serie A matches this season.
Allegri will also have to battle suspensions to Cristian Zapata and Kevin Prince-Boateng, both of whom were sent off in the weekend defeat to Udinese. Mathieu Flamini is also likely to miss out, this time due to injury, while long-term concerns Alexandre Pato and Didac Vila are far from fitness.
Visitors Cagliari have virtually a full squad to select from, with the Rossoblu also in a poor run of form at the moment, and may see the opportunity to take on a wounded Rossoneri as a chance to kick-start their campaign with a victory.
| DID YOU KNOW? |
AC Milan have yet to win at home this season, or indeed score a goal; they have suffered 1-0 defeats to Sampdoria and Atalanta.
- The Rossoneri are entering into a tricky run of fixtures, with away matches versus Parma and Lazio either side of the city derby against rivals Inter.
- New signing Giampaolo Pazzini scored a hat-trick in Milan's only win of the campaign so far. Pazzini is 20/1 with Bet365 to score a hat-trick in this game.
-
Cagliari have fared little better than their rivals on Wednesday, having collected just two points from four league matches.
-
The Rossoblu have won just two of their last 28 meetings with Massimiliano Allegri's side.
